title: [Clinical value of bilateral measuring of blood pressure].
abstract: By describing six patients who present with a multitude of clinical signs we want to demonstrate the importance of bilateral blood pressure readings. In patients with repeated blood pressure differences in the two arms of greater than 20 mmHg [1] further examination by ultrasound and/or angiography is indicated.
